Jacque Vaughn vs Speedy Claxton

[LaMarcus Bryant]

Speedy was the but his performance in playoffs 03 is overrated..

vaughn blows though if you think about it, the better he plays the more pop leaves him out there for 15 straight minutes, WHILE RUNNING THE TEAM AROUND HIM, hes like our main option when he comes in. Vaughn in a lineup with oberto, bowen and horry is pitiful

I don't watch many games, but what i've heard ("leader", "good decisions", "can't shoot") of Jacque makes him sound like the second coming of Avery.

Claxton had a one quarter prime. Luckily that was the fourth quarter of Game 6 of the 2003 NBA Finals. I would take that Speedy over Vaughn.

Modern day, I'd take Vaughn. Speedy is so broken down that he should be renamed Craig Claxton. He's a couple years younger than Vaughn, but he's pretty much done as an NBA player.

I'm still not 100% convinced that Pop is going to stick with Vaughn in the playoffs. Come playoff time, teams are going to double dog dare Vaughn to shoot the ball. If he misses too many, Pop will find other ways to cover the backup PG minutes.

Hopefully Vaughn plays well in the playoffs because he's a guy who won't command much salary. He's not flashy so another team won't jump at trying to get him. If Vaughn is the answer, he could be around for another three or four years.

The way he has shot lately, that could be a bad move.
